Krsna consciousness means clear consciousness. Material existence is symptomized by hazy consciousness, in which one identifies himself with his material body and thus with a particular race, religion or nationality.

To make progress in Krsna consciousness, one must first put aside these bodily designations and understand his real self. It is the natural position of every living entity to be an eternal servant of Krsna, or God, the Supreme Person and supreme cause of all causes. Forgetfulness of one’s eternal relationship with Krsna is the beginning of hazy consciousness.

The chanting of the holy names of God Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare counteracts this haziness by invoking one’s dormant love for Krsna. Reviving this original clear consciousness is a great science that can lead one to a pure life of eternal blissful knowledge. Back to Godhead is an instrument to spread understanding of this sublime science.
